An “Occult & Gnostic Arts Collective” comprised of Austin, myself, and Ryan and Vanessa Valentine. We did a lot of weird, dirty magic and learned all kinds of things, playing with elections, talismans, and timing for various operations. I was much younger than everyone, and our fellows were patient and kind and kept me fed and watered. We offered services and magic for hire, but became known for throwing absinthe parties out of a dilapidated half-operational textiles factory with a gigantic shark tank in the lobby. It was during this time I poured my first elected candles. Wouldn’t name it the same thing today!
